Summary: An Impressive book
Comment: Everything about ths book was impressive. Physically, it's much larger and heavier than I was expecting and the quality of the pages and printing is outstanding. The quality really helps show off the wonderfull photos that make this book a great piece of table art, as well as a book of recipies.

Summary: Thinking outside the spoon
Comment: I can easily find an equation between this book and modern art. This book is based on the menu of an unconventional restaurant in Chicago - Alinea speaks its name elegantly and much contribution on the possibility of presentation, preparation, and taste.
Gastronomically, it applies art and a bizarre combination choices of food.
It surely embarks a tasting journey to your every sense.

Summary: The Perfect Book for the Perfect Chef
Comment: This book has to be one of the most beautiful, innovative and inspirational cookery books ever. Although a nightmare to track down - Alinea's own shop had run out, Amazon.co.uk and just about everyone else in the UK were out of stock, Amazon.com had it. Thank you, thank you, thank you! The recipes are highly unusual, the photos mouth-watering and the price very reasonable. Thoroughly recommended for the advanced chef with plenty of time to prepare exotic dinner parties. Definitely not for beginners or the faint-hearted.

Summary: New Beginnings takes Root in the Kitchen
Comment: The photography demands that you try to prepare these dishes, and the directions make it possible. Not for the beginner cooks. For those who wish to serve the spectacular, this book is a must.

Summary: A very important book from a very important chef
Comment: I think this book is a landmark for american avant garde cooking, and a very important piece of work. My only negative is in the design of the book. White text on a grey background? What were they thinking?
